Republican debate descends into name-calling and catterwauling

Trump went for George W. Bush, much to the anger of his opposition and the booing crowd (Jonathan Ernst )

The Republican primary contest degenerated into an ugly political brawl last
night as the remaining six candidates used an electrifying presidential
debate to mock each other and trade accusations of lying.

In a remarkable angry exchange, the surprise runaway front runner Donald Trump
went further than any mainstream figure on the American left by accusing
George W. Bush of being responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks of 2001
and of lying to justify the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
